Thought I'd post this since it has a local angle, and everybody's familiar with this never-ending story. An FBI report says they think the Soviet Union "quite likely fabricated" the key piece of evidence against Demjanjuk, just as his attorneys have claimed from the start....

I'm 40 years old, and I gotta say, I can't ever remember a time in my life where this guy WASN'T going through this legal shit.

Mind you, if he's guilty, who cares, and I'm far from an expert but.....if you've had thirty years to figure out what the hell went on with the guy and still can't get your shit straight, you probably should let the guy be.

Agreed, there obviously has to be some level of doubt if they have had 30 years to prove who this guy was.

If he is truly innocent then I agree 100%, but if he is guilty then I think he's had it unfathomably easy for most of his life.

FTR I think he is not guilty.

Without question.

But you shouldn't get 30 years to "if" while the guys life is put on hold - or worse.

I get what your saying lead but man when you're in a search for truth is there really a time limit? The whole thing is a shame in so many respects, from the angle that it totally looks like this guy is innocent and his life has been made a living hell to the angle of what a waste of resources in doing all this.

Is is better for him to be innocent of the alleged crimes and yet had to endure all this, or better that he was guilty all this time and endured this, if we screwed this up which way was the better way to error?

Not that simple because of the way this has unfolded.

The least 30 years his life has been that of a guilty man. If he's on the fence till they figure it out, well, than take your time. If he's being toted in and out of court, in and out of the clink, and from country to country, thus disrupting a normal life, then 30 plus years in unacceptable.

In regard to which way its better to error - that speaks to the point. If it takes you 30 years and you still can't prove your point, than tough luck if you error. And the longer time goes by, the more it looks like you're trying to create something anyway.
